Seek help with patience and Prayer, surely, Allah is with the steadfast. And say not of those who are killed in the cause of Allah that they are dead; nay, they are living, only you perceive not. And We will try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives, and fruits; but give glad tidings to the patient, who, when a misfortune overtakes them, say, ‘Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return.’ (Al-Baqarah, 2:154-157) Sayings of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Hazrat Ayesha (Allah be pleased with her) relates that she asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) about the plague and he told her that the plague is a torment with which Allah afflicts those He determines, but that He has made it a source of mercy for the believers. If a servant of Allah is afflicted with the plague and stays in his town in a spirit of steadfastness hoping for his due from Allah, realising that only that will happen to him which Allah has determined for him, he will surely have a reward equal to that of a martyr. (Bukhari, from Gardens of Righteous, p. 14, no. 33). Writings of the Promised Messiah (peace be upon him) If you will adhere to truth and faith, angels will instruct you, heavenly comfort will descend upon you, you will be helped by the Holy Spirit, God will be with you at every step and no one will be able to overcome you. Await the grace of God steadfastly. Listen to abuse and keep silent. Endure being beaten and be steadfast. As far as possible do not resist evil, so that you may be accounted acceptable in heaven.

  • The Real Outcome of the Iraq War: US and Iranian Strategic Competition in Iraq
    The Real Outcome of the Iraq War: US and Iranian Strategic Competition in Iraq By Anthony H. Cordesman, Peter Alsis, Adam Mausner, and Charles Loi Anthony H. Cordesman Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy Revised: December 20, 2011 Note: This draft is being circulated for comments and suggestions. Please provide them to [email protected] Chapter 6: US Strategic Competition with Iran: Competition in Iraq 2 Executive Summary "Americans planted a tree in Iraq. They watered that tree, pruned it, and cared for it. Ask your American friends why they're leaving now before the tree bears fruit." --Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.1 Iraq has become a key focus of the strategic competition between the United States and Iran. The history of this competition has been shaped by the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), the 1991 Gulf War, and the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Since the 2003 war, both the US and Iran have competed to shape the structure of Post-Saddam Iraq’s politics, governance, economics, and security. The US has gone to great lengths to counter Iranian influence in Iraq, including using its status as an occupying power and Iraq’s main source of aid, as well as through information operations and more traditional press statements highlighting Iranian meddling. However, containing Iranian influence, while important, is not America’s main goal in Iraq. It is rather to create a stable democratic Iraq that can defeat the remaining extremist and insurgent elements, defend against foreign threats, sustain an able civil society, and emerge as a stable power friendly to the US and its Gulf allies.

It is a competition increasingly shaped by Iraq’s turbulent domestic politics and power struggles, and where both the US and Iran compete to shape the structure of Iraq’s future politics, governance, economics, and security.

  • Islam's Response to Extremism
    In the Words of the Caliph His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad Caliph (Spiritual Leader) of the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Islam’s Response to EXTREMISM His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad is widely acknowledged as a man of peace, who has continuously spoken out against extremism and called for a concerted effort to promote peace based on absolute justice. In this leaflet, we present just a few extracts of his statements. THE ACTIONS OF EXTREMISTS CONTRADICT THE TEACHINGS OF ISLAM “Islam’s teachings of peace prohibit all forms of extremism, to the extent, that even in a state of legitimate war, Allah has commanded that any action or punishment should remain proportionate to the crimes committed and that it is better if patience and forgiveness is manifest. Thus, all those so‐ called Muslims who are engaged in violence, injustice and brutality are inviting God’s wrath and anger to their doorstep.” (The 13th National Peace Symposium, Baitul Futuh Mosque, London, 19 March 2016) “...under no circumstances can murder ever be justified and those who seek to justify their hateful acts in the name of Islam are serving only to defame it in the worst possible way.” (Press Release in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, 14 November 2015) “In much of the world today there is a belief or perception that Islam is a religion of extremism and force... Let me say at the outset that this is entirely wrong and the reality is the complete opposite… The truth is that there are some selfish Muslims... who seek only to serve their own personal interests.

  • Oct-Dec 2017
    A Waqifaat-e-Nau said that in the UK they are thinking of restricting purdah (Hijab). My question is what can we Nasirat do about this? Huzur-e-Anwaraba said that if it is needed to show your face in public places for identity purposes then there is nothing harmful in it while your hair and chin are still covered, which is the minimum form of purdah (covering). Huzuraba said, but they are also thinking of banning Hijab or also of deporting those mothers back to their countries who have been living in UK on spouse visas since two years and do not understand the English language. At this, an eight year old girl (Ahmadi) had written to the Prime Minister saying that although my mother has a Master’s Degree in English, her accent is such that I make fun of her, so because of this, will you take my mother away from me and deport her? It was a very emotional letter and was published in the Independent and other well circulated Newspapers too. Huzur-e-Anweraba said that similarly you should write letters too. You should write that we are Muslim girls and if we chose to cover our heads or wear hijab or cover ourselves then why does it bother you? Huzuraba said that you too should write letters and a make point across that no one is forcing us to do purdah. The Religion also says that there should be sanctity and modesty in every woman. In the Holy Qur’an, where God Almighty has Commanded women to cover themselves, men have been commanded not to look at women with wide open eyes and to lower their gaze (to do purdah of their eyes).
